Germany legalises cannabis possession for personal use from April

“Chronic cannabis use makes you stupid, to put it bluntly, and can also cause psychosis,” Thomas Fischbach, president of a German federation of doctors for children and adolescents (BVKJ), told the Die Welt newspaper.

Meanwhile, at Oktoberfest...

The drunken debauchery often leads to fights, aggressive behavior, and bierleichen — so-called "beer corpses," which is what locals call the many passed out drunks lying on the hill behind the tents.

At least it takes away one reason for undercover German police to annoy foreigners with their "random" drug tests

German city in Abril

Fuck, now I gotta buy cannabis from someone name April for it to be legal?

My dealers name is fucking Gus Gutenburg. How many people are even named April in Germany? Probably not a lot. I hate our parliament.

Is this real legalization like in Canada, or fake legalization like most other places?

If a tourist can't buy it from a store, fly to a different city/state domestically with it, and then smoke it at a designated airport smoking area outside the terminal... I struggle to see that as full 'legalization'.

If you are prohibited from doing all those things, it just seems like a different version of prohibition. Step in the right direction though, sure.

April fools.

Lol this article describes the law very poorly. From a club you can get up to 25 grams a day, for up to a maximum of 50 a month.

I honestly don't think legalising is the best path looking at SF, California reporting after harm reduction campaign. Maybe empathetic rehabilitation.

Yay, Germany gets to smell like skunk and be full of mentally fried idiots. Whoop-dee-frickin-doo.
